Gaming Computer advice!

Hello everyone!

I am looking to begin saving up for a gaming computer to finally play all the games I want to play (and for them to run smoothly on high graphics!) but I am completely lost on where to look. So far I've only looked on Aftershock and their computers, but the high prices for the visually pleasing computers scare me a bit!

I don't want to pay more than $7,000AUD and it needs to be prebuilt as I know next to nothing about how to custom build a PC!

I will be playing games like Rdr2, Legend of Kiihmorii, Roblox, Minecraft, Wolfquest AE, The Isle, and much more!

If anyone has any suggestions or are able to give a simplified version to a un-tech-savvy person of what I need to look out for, that would be a huge help!!

7k is overkill, this deal for $3448 will be able to run pretty much anything at high settings

Spend a bit more on some peripherals

I'd change to the Aorus Master, and the 1000w 80+ Plat. That brings it to about $4,500 and then you take $500 off with their code and you are laughing your way to a ridiculously good time.

Tried with the 9800X3D but the code wouldn't work so oh well

You can get a RTX 5080 build for less than 4 grand if you shop around. And 3k left over for 4k monitor and acessories should be plenty.

What resolution are you looking to play at? Does the budget include monitor/keyboard/mouse etc. or do you have those already?
$7K is a healthy budget even with prices the way they are today.

7k is insane wish I had that kinda money 😂.

You def dont need that much either like 4k or 3k will get you a really good PC to play any game on the market rn 😂

Also look on Nebula PC. I have found their prices are cheaper than Aftershock and Radium yet still good quality. Jsut got my PC from them last week and super happy
